Synopsis

Nil Nil, Don Paterson's first volume of poetry, won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 1993 and heralded the arrival of a major new talent. The book presented a new and urgent poetry of dream-life, mystery and music, sexual obsession and the consolations of drink - all delivered with great formal skill and imaginative daring.

'One of the finest first books of poems I've read for ages.' Paul Muldoon

'If you are wondering whether great poems are still being written, you ought to read Don Paterson's.' Charles Simic

'One of the most ferociously talented of all British poets.' Catherine Lockerbie

About this title

From the Publisher:

We are pleased to announce the publication of eleven more titles into the new typographic look. The specifications for the books are high -beautifully produced, they all have flaps and are sewn and printed in Italy. The latest batch represents some of the core titles of the backlist (Philip Larkin's Collected Poems, Ted Hughes's New Selected Poems, James Joyce's Poems and Shorter Writings) along with key, single volumes that should be part of any poetry lover's library (and whose reissue, in the form in which they were first published, will give a whole new generation the pleasure of coming to the books as original readers).

Book Description:

Nil Nil is Don Paterson's stunning first collection, already enlivened by the great formal skill and imaginative daring which has resulted in Paterson's place in the very first rank of contemporary poets.
